I never really understood people that don't like peanut butter, much like those who don't like cheese. I don't think they're to be trusted, how can you not adore peanut butter. So salty, yet so sweet. When I lived in my old flat, my room mate would awake every morning and breakfast upon a huge slice of toast slathered with peanut butter and nutella spread, since then it has remained one of my very favorite morning treats. But, of the people who love peanut butter, like me, there's still the question of which side of the peanutty fence they fall, chunky or smooth? Are you a chunky gal, hungry for a bit of bite in your butter or are you a smooth lady, sophisticated and creamy spreading it elegantly upon your toasted sourdough? I'm a chunky girl, I love crunching the chunks of peanut between my front teeth, much to my fiances annoyance. Saying that, I only had smooth to hand so rather than give in and make delicate wee cookies, I tossed aside my tablespoon scoop and instead attacked my dough wielding a huge ice cream scoop!

Well, they certainly weren't delicate. Much like a Yorkie bar, these cookies aren't for girls, or at least faint hearted girls! These babies pack a punch fit for a king! My way only yielded around 15 cookies, rather than the two dozen stated in the recipe, but what can I say? I like my cookies like I like my peanut butter, chunky!

I'm with you on chunky cookies, if not chunky peanut butter - love the smooth stuff. Whenever we're in the UK, my girls and I grab a bunch of Yorkie bars to bring home with us. We love it when we can find the "girl" version - do they even make it anymore, I wonder? But the regular boy version is fine with us.

They look delicious sweetheart!I looooooooooove peanut butter! My Steve makes the most marvelous peanut butter cookies with melting chocolate middles, I'll give you the recipe!A now ex-friend hated peanut butter and chocolate together, that should have been a warning to me that we were destined not to be friends!xxx

Your post this week made me laugh! I had a roommate in college who didn't like peanut butter- I could never figure it out. Being from S. Africa, she said it was an American thing. I guess you have proven her wrong!

I always *thought* I didn't like peanut butter, cause we never had it when I was growing up, and the few times I tried it I was like 'ACK, THE STICKY'. But then I went to uni, and was introduced to its wondrous ways, and apparently decided that being thin was not for me, haha. Le sigh. These look too good to resist...

How are you? Your cookies look absolutely delish, and I love that you made them jumbo size! I'm a chunky fan myself, so we're on the same team :)

Your new site looks FABULOUS! Did you get it designed? I love the colors and fonts too. I'm looking to change up my blog a bit too, and I'd love any advice you could give me. If you have some tips you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd really appreciate it. Feel free to email me (joy.d.saunders@gmail.com) or just leave a comment on my site if that's easier!
